Ceilings and Parity (Continued from Page One) ing to make money because he knows that the price annot go beyond the ceiling. _ It is but human nature for the speculators to sell 0 ton short around the ceiling price. The speculator tuaranteed against loss when he sells cotton short. otton cannot go up to make him lose. If it goes own he wins. _ The speculator is practically guaranteed a profit by the Government if he will get on the bearish side of the market and sell the farmer short. _ The fake parity fixed by Wickard on cotton is 72 cents. This is 3 cents under the ceiling and it is 16 cents under parity as provided in the Agricul- iral Adjustment Act. Wickards fake parity is $80.- 0 per bale less than actual parity. Actual parity on cotton is 35. 2c. Wickard fixed parity as 18.72 cents. The Gov- ynment loan on cotton is 85% of Wickards fake ity, which is 16 cents. ~ The only guarantee that the farmer has as to the price of cotton is the Government loan. Since the overnment loan on cotton is 16c the Governmet is nly guaranteeing the farmer 16c of the 35c actual parity for his cotton crop. The Government only guar- antees the farmer 45% of actual parity. _ So long as the Government owns stocks of cotton it is impossible for cotton to go very much above Wickards fake parity because the Government in+ bly threatens to dump Government stocks on the jarket whenever there is an advance in prices. Isit any wonder that farmers who have struggled ith their families for years trying to pay taxes, in- yest on land bank mortgages, etc., are being con- inually driven from their homes? oe .. Think of the United States Department of riculture going to South America and guarantee- he cotton growers of South America a market for sir cotton for the next five years when the Ameri- can farmer is only being protected to the extent of of his cost of production. Think of the general public in the United States being continually told through the newspapers, over the radio, in motion pictures, and through every medi- | of propaganda at Government expense, that the mer is swimming in gravy. That he is causing in- flation. That he has banded himself together to force mreasonable prices for farm production. | That the armer is responsible for the high cost of living of y dwellers. oh Think of the farmer being slandered, and hav- to furnish his own money to the United States De- vent of Agriculture to pay for this slander. n the United States Senate the forty-eight states t on complete equality.
